ChatterNet

GitHub, Feb 07, 2023

Via Boris Mann we are introduced to ChatterNet, another decentralized social network application. "Chatter Net aims to solve the problem of central ownership of user identity... allow a user to prove their identity to other users without relying on a 3rd party; and allow users verify the origin of some content without relying on a 3rd party." It's described as "a web of self-signed semantic documents. It closely follows (but is not fully compliant with) the Activity Pub protocol." There's client and server source code on Github. The project offers an example of a network using the application, Conversely. Doug Belshaw comments, "I don't think I've ever seen a less human-centric way of describing a social network than Conversely's home page."
